An alternative reliability method to evaluate the regional traffic congestion from GPS data obtained from floating cars

Abstract Fast and reliable evaluation of regional traffic congestion is beneficial to more effective traffic control. Based on data accumulation in modern society, more and more data‐driven methods are proposed. However, it is still not easy to process the raw data to an interpretable level in pract...
